Hooking iPod to aux outlet in Honda Ridgeline

I have the 5th gen iPod (60 gig). My Honda truck came with an aux audio jack in the glovebox area. Is there an Apple/3rd party cable available or do I have to pay Honda $214 for their install?
Thanks.

If it has the cable there already, what would you be paying $214 for?
It's not simply a cable. It has electronics inside to interface and control the iPod.

How do I get my new (2012) IPOD Classic to work in my 2007 Honda Ridgeline?

I plug it into the cable in the glove compartment, make sure the IPOD is on & the vol. is up- Turn on the radio and press AUX.
Nothing.. And the IPOD seems to not operate correctly when it's plugged into the vehicle. It also seems to screw up the operation of the radio when I unplug it for about 5 minutes. What am I doing wrong?
Appreciate any assistance!

If you transfer your complete iTunes data from your old computer to your new computer, the iTunes library on the new computer is the same iTunes library that was on the old computer. All of your playlists (as well as other supporting data such as ratings and play count) will be there, and your iPod will treat like it as the same iTunes library. What you probably did is move your iTunes media files (such as song files) and added them to a new iTunes library on the new computer.
So, if you still have access to your old computer, with its iTunes library intact, you may want to do the transfer again, following the procedure described here
Back up your iTunes library by copying it to an external drive - Apple Support
There are many steps, but to summarize: (1) Consolidate all of your iTunes user data so that it's in one place, your iTunes folder. (2) Copy that iTunes folder to an external drive. (3) Install iTunes on the new computer (and while iTunes is NOT running), replace the existing iTunes folder with the one from the old computer (on the external drive). When iTunes runs, it uses your old iTunes folder.
Otherwise, if your iPod is the only source available, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod, NOT from iPod to computer. However, there are third party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. Some utilities may recover playlist data.

Device for hooking ipod to external speakers...?

I have a 40g ipod and would like to hook it up to a set of external speakers on my deck. Is there a device for hooking up the ipod to external speakers?? I know about the docking systems (i.e. Bose, etc.) and the stereo receiver hookup, but is there an individual amplifier device avaiable to just be a go-between the ipod and speakers?? I don't feel like bringing my stereo reciever outside and I want the ability to change songs....
Sorry if this is a repeat question...I did a qucik search and didn't see anything.
- thanks REV

I have an ipod mini....and I have an Ipod jack in my 2007 Honda Accord

My Ipod mini will not play in my car but my son's Ipod touch does. The handbook in the car says I need a Ipod later then generation 3 or 4 I cannot remember is there anyway to fix or update to newer software??

Hi,
Unfortunately, the iPod Mini was from 2004, and only had 2 Generations. If you have an Aux out, then I'd use that, as that will work. The earliest iPod that most cars support is the 5th Gen Video.

TV shows up as black and white when I hook Ipod to TV

I have the dock and the remote, the cables, etc.... Yet when I hook up to the T.V. to watch downloaded show 1. I either get the show in Black and White
or 2. I get audio only. What's the solution?

if you are not using cables specifically designed for the iPod make sure you switch the red and the yellow. also make sure the TV out setting is on in your video settings on your iPod.
if you are using a cable specifically for the iPod and it doesn't work after trying the above the cable maybe defective.

Hooking IPOD to Creative Labs external speakers

I just purchased a set of speakers and subwoofer, Creative Labs, to hook my IPOD up to; everything seems be hooked up correctly, but no sound comes out of the speakers. The Creative Labs people said they couldn't help me, that I had to contact IPOD support, which of course, is impossible. Is there some trick to this? Is there a different cable that goes from the IPOD to the input jack of the speakers? Or what the heck could be wrong??
Please help - these speakers are for a party Saturday, 8/26!!!!!

I called Circuit City, where I purchased the speakers at, some nice person there told me I had to have the volume of my IPOD turned all the way up in order for it to work. Which I then did, and it deed indeed work wonderfully. Shame on the idiots at Creative Labs who couldn't share that bit of information, and shame on Apple for not having a phone number of anyone to contact, or at least one that isn't hidden in layers.

Hook iPod to car speakers.

I've never done this before, but my friend is trying to get his iPod hooked up to his car speakers. If it helps, the car in question is a 2006 Toyota Corolla LE. There's a multi-disc CD player.
~ Thanks in advance.

get an iPod car player. They are usually a little on the pricey side...i saw one for $40.00 at Lowe's here in Texas, but what you do is hook it to your car's cigarette lighter. Once it is powered up, plug in iPod and it will transmit on a radio frequency (the better, more expensive ones transmit on several optional frequencies to prevent interference by local radio stations) Simply tune your car's radio to the frequency and it will play. Then you can blast it with speakers.

Hook Ipod Touch to tv?

Hi,
I have a 2nd Gen Touch and the firmware version is 4.0.2 (I believe!). I'd like to get a cord like this, but can't figure out if it would work with my product given the requirements it states. Would it? Should it?
http://cgi.ebay.com/AV-TV-RCA-Video-USB-Cable-iPhone-3G-iPod-Touch-Nano-/2206677 42890?pt=OtherMP3_PlayerAccessories&hash=item3360d28aaa

iOS 4.0 is referencing a major version "upgrade".
IOS 4.0.2 is referencing the second minor "update" to iOS4.0
iOS 4.1 is the newest/most recent "update" to iOS4.0
Does that help?
Also, you should be able to find either "component" (RGB+audio) or "composite" (1V2A / RCA / YellowRedWhite) video cables in the Apple Store for about USD $50.00.
You need to know which types of available input connections you have on your TV.
If you have a choice, you should choose component, as that will produce a superior image.
If I remember correctly, that cable includes an additional USB power cable/adapter, so your iPod battery wo t drain/die during playback.
Have fun with Netflix!!

Trouble hooking ipod to the computer

I am new to the ipod. I downloaded an ebook from my library onto my itunes on my computer. Then I attached my ipod to the computer. Nothing is showing up on my computer that indicated that my ipod is actually connected. Any advice?

YamiPod takes files from your iPod and puts them back to your computer.

Hooking ipod to new computer

Ok...here's the problem...my laptop computer crashed, where all my itunes songs were kept. there was no saving the comptuer so the only place I have the songs is on my ipod itself. I have a desktop computer that i have downloaded itunes to but i need to transfer ALL of my songs from my ipod to my desktop...how do i do this?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

When connecting to stereo, can you only hook into V/AUX connection?

Any help would be great.

The audio that goes to the headphone jack is routed through the volume circuitry of your iPod. Line-out outputs bypass the volume circuitry, meaning that the sound is cleaner (also you can no longer control volume on the device). You can use a headphone jack, but line-out sounds better. Audio from the headphone jack is amplified and not as 'clean' as audio from the 'line-out' port (either from the iPod Dock, or the iPod's dock connector). You are compromising on sound quality by using the iPod’s headphone jack.
For best audio results, use the dock connector from the bottom of the iPod via the links below:
There are cables that have the iPod specific connector that terminate in RCA jacks. I have one made by NYCO: it's a ”Stereo Link for iPod”
Or you can use this little gismo to create a line-out feature as well as a power-in feature for operating/charging without depleting the battery: ”PocketDock Line Out USB”. Others types are also available via this site.

Connecting ipod shuffle to my 93 Honda accord radio

Hi all,
How can I connect my ipod shuffle to my car radio and get the best sound quality? Is there some noise filter or frequency filter I can attach to it? Please let me know
Thanks for your help
Web dude

Your best option would be to use an line-in port. This would allow you to connect via the head phone port. The sound quality would be equal to a cd player, much better than a radio frequency transmitter.
The only issue is that you'll probably have to buy a new deck to support line in. (consult a specialist/manual to be sure your's doesn't already). Though if your buying a new deck you might want to get one with a usb port. Then you could just use a jump drive, and save the wear and tear on your ipod.
Hope that helps,
Chad

Hello, alfredmaxis.
Compatibility does vary depending on how you are attempting to connect the device to your vehicle. However, here are some resources on iPod and vehicle compatibility.
